These two Satires are acknowledged to he amongst the finest compositions of that ,or ; and 11 r. !Siva that Aeeolint lielt•ered thefil as a trial whether he may deserve t., and the public be disposed to give, such a rye of patronage as may induce hilts 10 at ,•11.111 in entire vet s OIL %Vt.! Marc l►eru-td th.• 111 O h route attention, and as in our opinion' tits ample proofs that Mr. SwleT is hoth, as ia poet and id C14311 . 1C, equal to the task he is disposed to undertake, and is thetefore ro t !len to the support lie asks, we have not waited till the higher powers of ctitieistu have pro morticed then selitenie, but have taken the ear liest opportunity of giving roe small support to a claim iehich we conceive to be well founded. We would, however, wish it to be understood, that we sprak positively, and not comparatively,— wr think SivieT pertecly competeut to mane an es( &lent translation of Juvenal, brit we do not lin. ut to assert, that he wwild make one al pirterable to those 33 hick alreatty exist. 111 his manly athertiseittent, he avows that such are his hopes, and says--" without such a colt lid: nice an author has no light to appear betnie the pithlic." This is unquestionably the feeling with which lie ouglst to cuter upon his task, and who 11(.4 he it or out, the public is srre to he a gainer, in as much as in some parts lie will perhaps be thought to have surpassed his erompetitots ; nor Call this 1111 consideled as say ing too much in layout!. of Mr. SwiFT by any tme, is lin, having read different translations ot the same work, must have obset veil, that eve,' the rust has (-modified some passages superior to the corresponding ones of the hest. For t!-is reason we certainly hope that Mr. Swar will pursue his iii tentioirs,islid th,,t the public will not allow it to he said, 11,..r whilst they are lavishing their favours irpnit insipid novels, and factions doggrell, they I ejected the strong sense of the Roman Satirist, croi%eyed in langriage such as Mr. Swrrr to ii,tle HI his COnnniind, he Tenth Satire Mr. SWIFT calls PRPSUMP TIC/IN—anti perhaps no single word call he found w hick could so fully convey its aim and scope. After !akin:. a short general view of the vain and :-It-destructive desires of Mall, whose crimes and follies are so I) , ,laneed as equally to justify the :car of Heraclitris and the laugh of Deurocritus, the poet goes on to illustrate the presumption of human prayers, by describing the fate of those who bad obtained their accomplishment. Sejantis, the Crassi, Pompey, Caesar, tell the victims of their own ambition; Cicero and Demosthenes both perished through their own eloquence; Hannibal, At exr i n i e r, Xerxes, found death and discomfiture in their- search after glory ; all pray for long lite, vet what ere the evils of old age ! 1% 7 hat were the sillier-ill :4 s of Nestor and Of Priam ! Lucretia and blew the danger of beauty in woman; Bellerophon awl Hippolitti• in man ; yet these are gifts for which presumptuous mortals pray:— Never then pray?—yea s if the player remit Ti. }leaven the choir.: of cur hest benefit : F, to that iniiver each want and wish are known, 'Who...! lore toward min is dealer than his own.

" Once plied his jaws diligence are true"—is another example of leebletie•s. %Ve also object to " shook her down the Witni"—as we think mediienique ostenderet might be more closely expresscii by a si milar custom irf our own.

The Moniteur, out of its twelve columns, has no lets than six occupied with the details of the Westminster Election.—The follow ing are extracts : " PARIS, JULY I.—Prtrtont, the engraver, end the printsellers, charged with circulating an En graving, entitled ".l'Enfant du Regiment," in tended, as alleged, to represent the son of Napo leon Buotniparte, were yestenhly acquitted by the Tribunal of Correctional Police, upon the ground that it was not proved the parties had any sedi tious object in vicx.

Au artifice been put in practice by the Thrlettilcs, which it - not ex;(editionsly exposed, and effectually frustrated, may lead to the most dreadful consequences. The report which these Ruffians have circulated is, that when a maw was taken belme one of the Police Magistrates, clisrged with an assault in Covent-garden, the Magistrate dismissed the complaint, declaring that he would nut interfere in F.lectionsquabhles!! W e can have no scruple in pronouncing this re t to he a villainous artifice, as well as an infa mous falsehood. What, after the united moba of the Burdetti/es and the Huntites had proceeded to snub outrages as had endangered the lives of se- V I I dud had occasioned sri ious injuries to wally, insomuch That it %vit4 clued ue ebsary to call for awl to rtml the ktoT Act', which hardly tv.ol the effect of ilisio.rsiog the lo t mos rahble, sh I I a Meigi,t rate be !wind so care- 'vas of p.ts.ilig eveots, and so blind to pi okable consegoriices, as to hizard so imprudent a tivel,tuation ! ! The thing is impossible, And if it were true, :!oieli it weak Magistrate would be un worthy of his situation, awl ought to be dismissed from it. NVe know that Mr. 13.tasI8, the Magis trate, WciS employed several nays in exaittintig into charges of election tiStaillitS, HMI that Several per- smis are at this moment in ciistody for having committed riotous excesses. As this day ends tlh►t lamentable scenes which base taken place in Westminster, and as the most alarming effects may arise either from the triumph or defeat of the Burdettites, we trust that the CIVIL POWER will be ready, in great strength, to subdue the violence of the rabble, which else may spread consternation and mischief throughout the Me tropolis. We know that HUNT has stopped every day before the Otlices of The Courier, The Morn ing Post, and The Observer, and has harangued his attendant Rabble, pointing out those offices es proper objects for their fury. We are HS.. tonished that Pence Officers have not been in readiness at all the three bonses to seize the person of HUNT and take him before a 'Alagi,trate, on a charge of attempting to rouse the mob to riotous extremities. It is by no 11111d119 improbable that the mob may be as pusillanimous as their Leader when brought to the test, and it is by 110 Mean% an improbable conjecture that they will be found so, for it is impossMe that the admirers and followers of a man who has acted upon many occasions in so dastardly a manner can have any portion of true British spirit in their composition. At all events, the peace of THE METROPOLIS should be secured, thriefore, both the CIVIL and MILITARY POWER should be in readiness to protect it. To refute HUNT is something like killing the Alain ; but the paper be yesterday produced on the 11u , ,tings is so barefaced a forgery, that we roust just say a word upon it. 1: represents CASTLES as a spy of Government prior to the Spa-fields Meet ing in Dec. 1816. Again and ag►tin has it been asserted in each house of Parliament, and never contradicted, that CASTLES was an Informer - and no Sp , , that he had no connexion with Government, prior to the Treason commenced in Spa-fidds, and cat tied on fron► thence to Skinner -street, and the Tower ; and it will be recollected that he never came forward as a witness even when the investi gation was going forward before the Lott► MAYOR Woon ; and it was proved on the State Triali iu the Court of King's Bench that he never gave information until five or six weeks after the Treason ; and though HUNT was called as a Wit ness for the Prisoners to contradict CASTLBS, he never produced the letter which he now affects to have procured. This day will decide the Westminster Contest, And put au end to all the disgraceful scenes which have attended it.—We are still not without hope that Sir MtiErtAY MAXWELL will be able to spew, by the final result, that the majority of the Eke tors are wise, honest, and loyal men, in securing for him a seat, where he will assuredly display ta lents honourable to himself, and useful to his country : but if, after all, the cause of Universal Democracy should triumph in the return of the Champion for eternal confusion, anarchy, and blood shed—the Advocate for Universal Su frage and Annual Parliaments, we shall mown o%er the degeneracy of our countrymen, and say, with a slight change, in the words of die Poet That more true joy MAXWELL rejected feels, " Than BURDLIT with Me Rabble at his heels." We should regret that the pressure of matter, 'lnd the length of Mr. C AN N I NG'S Speech, at the Liverpool dinner, after the Election, and which exclusively graced the columns of THE Sur; yes teiday, prevented our offeting a few remarks on that splendid effusion of political eloittence. li %vas pregnant with the most important matter.
